Laura Sullivan Wins Gracie Award

The American Women in Radio & Television (AWRT) has selected NPR News and National Correspondent Laura Sullivan for a 2007 Gracie Award for “Outstanding News Series” for a three-part examination on solitary confinement that aired in July 2006 on the NPR news magazine All Things Considered. Sullivan took listeners behind the scenes of some of the nation’s largest and least known solitary confinement units, where inmates spend years isolated in small cells for 23 hours a day. In explaining its selection to NPR, the Gracie Award jury noted: “In a year with a record-breaking number of entries, your submission displayed superior quality in writing, production and programming.”
